COMMENTS

1.   CHANGE IN FINANCIAL YEAR-END AND COMPARISON WITH PRIOR PERIOD
     As previously reported, the financial year-end of the Company was changed from 31 March to 30 June with effect
     from 30 June 2011. As a result of the change in year-end, the results for the twelve months to 30 June 2012 being
     reported on are not directly comparable to those of the fifteen months to 30 June 2011. The main reason for this is
     that different accounting periods of certain investee companies are accounted for in the comparative periods
     presented.

     The most significant of the investee companies referred to above, are the following:

              -        Air Products and Mediclinic  accounted for twelve months in both periods
              -        Rainbow, Tsb Sugar, Unilever and Wispeco  accounted for twelve months for the year under
                       review, compared to fifteen months in the comparative period
              -        Distell, FirstRand, Kagiso, PGSI, RMBH and Total  accounted for twelve months for the year
                       under review, compared to eighteen months in the comparative period

     In order to enable shareholders to make a meaningful comparison with the results of the twelve months under
     review, we have prepared as additional information an analysis of headline earnings for the comparative twelve
     months ended 30 June 2011. A summary of these comparable results is presented in the "Contribution to headline
     earnings" table below and in the segmental information presented in Annexure A.

     With effect from 25 June 2012 the investment in Impala Platinum Holdings Limited was distributed to Remgro
     shareholders as a dividend in specie. Due to the size of the transaction certain items in the statement of financial
     position and income statement are therefore not directly comparable with those of the prior period.

2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     The annual financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise indicated, in accordance
     with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, and in
     accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008), as amended, and the Listings
     Requirements of the JSE Limited. The financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of the Chief
     Financial Officer, Leon Crouse CA(SA).

     These financial statements incorporate accounting policies that have been consistently applied to both periods
     presented, with the exception of the implementation of the revised IAS 24: Related Party Disclosures. The adoption
     of the revised accounting standard only affected disclosure and had no impact on the results of either the current or
     prior periods.

3.   RESULTS
     Headline earnings
     Headline earnings for the twelve months to 30 June 2012 amounted to R5 113 million compared to R5 555 million
     for the fifteen months to 30 June 2011, representing a decrease of 8.0%. Headline earnings per share decreased by
     8.1% from 1 082.4 cents to 994.6 cents.

     However, when compared to the comparable twelve months ended 30 June 2011, headline earnings increased by
     26.3% from R4 049 million to R5 113 million, whereas headline earnings per share increased by 26.1% from
     788.8 cents to 994.6 cents.

     Refer to Annexures A and B for segmental information.

     The following commentary is based on a comparison of the results of the year under review with that of the twelve
     months ended 30 June 2011.

     Financial services
     The contribution from financial services amounted to R2 538 million (2011: R1 915 million). The increase of
     32.5% is mainly due to strong operational performances in both FNB and WesBank, as well as the inclusion of the
     results of RMI Holdings for the full twelve months under review, compared to only four months in the comparative
     period.

     Industrial interests
     The contribution of the industrial interests to headline earnings increased by 15.9% to R2 236 million
     (2011: R1 930 million). Mediclinic's and Unilever's contribution to headline earnings amounted to R491 million
     and R367 million respectively (2011: R474 million and R312 million). Distell's contribution to Remgro's headline
     earnings, which includes the investments in Capevin Holdings and Capevin Investments, amounted to R324 million
     (2011: R328 million). Rainbow's contribution to headline earnings amounted to R197 million (2011: R220 million).
     Rainbow is currently experiencing difficult trading conditions, with its results being significantly impacted by record
     levels of cheap imports and rising input costs. Total South Africa's contribution to Remgro's headline earnings
     amounted to R124 million (2011: R191 million). Total South Africa reported negative stock revaluations during the
     twelve months under review, compared to substantial favourable stock revaluations in the comparative period.
     Effective 1 July 2011 Kagiso Trust Investments (KTI) and the Tiso Group merged into a new entity, Kagiso Tiso
     Holdings (KTH). KTH's contribution to Remgro's headline earnings amounted to R93 million (2011: Remgro's
     share of KTI's headline earnings - R59 million). During the year under review KTH's results were positively
     impacted by favourable fair value adjustments relating to its interests in Exxaro Resources Limited and MMI
     Holdings Limited. Tsb Sugar produced excellent results with a contribution to headline earnings of R352 million
     (2011: R134 million). This increase is mainly due to higher local and export sugar prices, as well as an improved
     operational performance from Tsb Sugar's milling activities resulting from higher sugar production. It should also
     be noted that the 2011 results of Tsb Sugar included a non-recurring cost of R43 million relating to the closure of a
     pension fund. Grindrod contributed R88 million to headline earnings for the eight months since acquisition.

     Media interests
     Media interests primarily consist of the interests in Sabido, MARC and Premier Team Holdings (PTH). Sabido's
     contribution to Remgro's headline earnings amounted to R129 million (2011: R116 million). MARC contributed
     R11 million to headline earnings (2011: R17 million loss). It should be noted that MARC's comparative results
     included a negative fair value adjustment of R22 million relating to the MARC convertible preference shares. PTH's
     contribution to headline earnings amounted to a loss of R35 million (2011: R37 million loss). No income from One
     Digital Media was accounted for during the year under review (2011: R31 million loss) as the investment was sold
     during April 2012.

     Mining interests
     Until the unbundling of Implats to Remgro shareholders during June 2012, Implats was the only remaining
     investment being reported under mining interests. Dividends received from Implats during the year under review
     amounted to R148 million (2011: R112 million).

     Technology interests
     Technology interests primarily represent the interests in the CIV group of companies and the investment in
     SEACOM. For the year under review the CIV group contributed R85 million to Remgro's headline earnings
     (2011: R89 million). SEACOM reported a headline loss of R109 million for the year under review
     (2011: R121 million loss), with Remgro's share of this loss amounting to R27 million (2011: R30 million loss).
     Before it was sold the investment in Tracker was "held for sale" and therefore no income from Tracker was
     accounted for during the year under review (2011: R23 million).

     Other investments
     The contribution of other investments to headline earnings amounted to R22 million (2011: R25 million), of which
     Business Partners' contribution was R12 million (2011: R18 million).

     Central treasury and other net corporate costs
     Higher average cash balances resulted in an increase in the contribution from the central treasury division to
     R140 million (2011: R76 million). Other net corporate costs amounted to R141 million (2011: R137 million). The
     increase in other net corporate costs can be attributed mainly to a higher share scheme cost resulting from the
     adjustment to the offer prices of share appreciation rights held by participants following the unbundling of the
     investment in Implats.

     Total earnings
     Total earnings decreased by 14.4% to R9 284 million (fifteen months to 30 June 2011: R10 841 million), mainly as
     a result of the change in year-end in 2011 resulting in certain investee companies being accounted for fifteen or
     eighteen months in the comparative period, compared to only twelve months during the year under review. It should
     also be noted that the earnings for the year under review include, inter alia, capital gains amounting to
     R4 047 million realised on the disposal of RMBH shares and RMI shares to Royal Bafokeng Holdings (Pty)
     Limited, the disposal of Tracker and the unbundling of the investment in Implats, as well as an accounting profit
     amounting to R231 million realised on the KTI and Tiso merger.

4.   INTRINSIC VALUE
     Remgro's intrinsic value per share increased by 12.2% from R135.97 at 30 June 2011 to R152.61 at 30 June 2012,
     despite the unbundling of the investment in Implats which reduced the intrinsic value at 30 June 2012 by R4.55.
     The increase in the effective capital gains tax rate further reduced the intrinsic value per share by R1.60. Therefore,
     on a like-for-like basis the intrinsic value per share increased by 16.7% compared to June 2011. Refer to Annexure
     B for full details.

5.   INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
     The most important investment activities during the year under review were as follows:

     RMB Holdings Limited (RMBH) and RMI Holdings Limited (RMI)
     During December 2011 Remgro sold 50 088 654 RMBH shares and 68 866 361 RMI shares to Royal Bafokeng
     Holdings (Pty) Limited for a total consideration of R2 091.1 million. The transaction effectively reduced Remgro's
     interests in RMBH and RMI from 31.5% and 34.9%, to 27.9% and 30.3% respectively.

     Grindrod Limited (Grindrod)
     During the year under review Remgro acquired 138 588 358 Grindrod ordinary shares for a total consideration of
     R2 089.4 million. These acquisitions resulted in Remgro obtaining an effective 23.5% interest in Grindrod
     (23.1% on a fully diluted basis). The results of Grindrod were equity accounted for eight months to 30 June 2012.

     Tracker Investment Holdings (Pty) Limited (Tracker)
     During October 2011 the investment in Tracker was sold for a total consideration of R1 226.5 million.

     Kagiso Trust Investments (Pty) Limited (KTI) and Tiso Group (Pty) Limited (Tiso)
     Effective 1 July 2011, KTI and Tiso merged into a new entity, Kagiso Tiso Holdings (Pty) Limited (RF), and
     Remgro's interest on a fully diluted basis in the new entity is 25.1%.

     Dark Fibre Africa (Pty) Limited (Dark Fibre)
     During the year under review Remgro invested a further R248.0 million directly in Dark Fibre. This investment
     increased Remgro's effective interest in Dark Fibre to 49.6% (2011: 46.5%).

     Dorbyl Limited (Dorbyl)
     During February 2012 Remgro disposed of 11 839 510 shares in Dorbyl to RECM and Calibre Limited for a
     nominal amount. The transaction reduced Remgro's interest in Dorbyl to 6.5% (2011: 41.4%). The remaining
     2 218 836 shares (or 6.5%) were disposed of during September 2012.

     Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (Implats)
     On 31 May 2012 it was announced that the investment in Implats would be distributed to Remgro shareholders as a
     dividend in specie in the ratio of 5.16582 Implats shares for every 100 Remgro shares held. The Implats shares
     were distributed on 25 June 2012.

     No dividend tax is payable on the distribution as Remgro has sufficient STC credits available to apply against the
     dividend.

     Other smaller investments, amounting to R367 million, were made during the year under review in, inter alia,
     the Milestone China Funds, Premier Team Holdings Limited and Kagiso Infrastructure Empowerment Fund.

     EVENTS AFTER 30 JUNE 2012:

     Capevin Holdings Limited (Capevin Holdings)
     During April 2012 Capevin Holdings announced its intention to acquire all the shares in Capevin Investments
     Limited (Capevin Investments) not already held by it through the issue of 21 Capevin Holdings shares for every
     1 Capevin Investments share acquired. The effective date of the transaction was 13 August 2012.

     The transaction did not affect Remgro's indirect interest in Distell Group Limited.

     MARC Group Limited (MARC)
     During September 2012 Remgro received an offer from Kagiso Media Limited to acquire the entire issued share
     capital of MARC, for an amount of R335 million, plus an additional R10 million in respect of a shareholder loan to
     MARC, provided that at the time of implementation of the transaction MARC's only assets will be its shareholdings
     in Experiential Marketing (Pty) Limited, EXP Momentum Limited, Trinergy Brand Connectors (Pty) Limited and
     Bull Rugby Holdings (Pty) Limited.

     In order to give effect to the above transaction, Remgro will be required to acquire all the MARC shares that it does
     not already own from MARC's minority shareholders. Both of these transactions are subject to certain suspensive
     conditions being fulfilled and it is anticipated that the completion date will be 31 January 2013.

     Mediclinic International Limited (Mediclinic)
     On 1 August 2012, Mediclinic announced a comprehensive refinancing of its Swiss and South African debt. As part
     of the transaction Mediclinic proposed the raising of new equity through a R5.0 billion rights offer. Remgro has
     entered into an underwriting agreement with Mediclinic in terms of which it has agreed, subject to the fulfilment of
     certain conditions, to fully underwrite the rights offer. Remgro's exposure has been reduced to R3.0 billion due to
     the fact that a third party sub-underwrote R2.0 billion on a first-out basis.

     On 31 August 2012, Mediclinic announced that all conditions precedent pertaining to the rights offer had been
     fulfilled. The rights offer will consist of an offer of 174.6 million new Mediclinic shares at an issue price of
     R28.63 per share in the ratio of 26.77263 new Mediclinic shares for every 100 Mediclinic shares held. In terms of
     the rights offer Remgro will subscribe for 75.8 million new Mediclinic shares at an aggregate subscription price of
     R2.17 billion. Remgro's exposure under the underwriting agreement is thus limited to R0.83 billion.

     Kagiso Tiso Holdings (Pty) Limited (RF) (KTH)
     During August 2012 Remgro increased its shareholding in KTH by acquiring a further 7.2% interest for a total
     amount of R484.8 million, thereby increasing its interest from 25.1% to 32.3%.

6.   TREASURY SHARES
     At 30 June 2011, 2 918 266 Remgro ordinary shares (0.6%) were held as treasury shares by a wholly owned
     subsidiary company of Remgro. As previously reported, these shares were acquired for the purpose of hedging
     Remgro's share incentive schemes.

     During the year under review no Remgro ordinary shares were repurchased, while 639 111 Remgro ordinary shares
     were utilised to settle Remgro's obligation towards scheme participants who exercised the rights granted to them.

     At 30 June 2012, 2 279 155 Remgro ordinary shares (0.5%) were held as treasury shares.

7.   CASH RESOURCES AT THE CENTRE

     The Company's cash resources at 30 June 2012 were as follows:

     money market funds which are not classified as cash and cash equivalents on the statement of financial position.

Mr Thys Visser, Chief Executive Officer of Remgro, passed away following a car accident on 26 April 2012. The Board and

Mr Jannie Durand was appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of Remgro on 7 May 2012.

AUDIT REPORT
The annual financial statements have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. and their unqualified audit reports on the
comprehensive annual financial statements and the summarised financial statements are available for inspection at the
registered office of the Company.

DECLARATION OF CASH DIVIDEND
Secondary tax on companies (STC) and dividend tax
With effect from 1 April 2012, STC was replaced with a dividend tax. In terms of the new legislation, companies will be
allowed to apply their available STC credits against future dividends declared for a period of three years from the effective
date of dividend tax.

Declaration of Dividend No. 24
Notice is hereby given that a final gross dividend of 188 cents (2011: 213 cents) per share has been declared in respect of
both the ordinary shares of one cent each and the unlisted B ordinary shares of ten cents each, for the year ended
30 June 2012.

The total dividend per share for the twelve months ended 30 June 2012 therefore amounts to 314 cents, compared to 314
cents for the comparative fifteen months ended 30 June 2011.

Shareholders should note that the total dividend for the period to 30 June 2011 of 314 cents per share included 63 cents per
share in respect of the three months with which the financial year-end of the Group was extended to 30 June 2011.

The Company will be utilising STC credits amounting to 188 cents per ordinary share and 188 cents per unlisted B ordinary
share. As a result there will be no dividend tax deducted from the final gross dividend for any Remgro shareholder.

The issued share capital at the declaration date is 481 106 370 ordinary shares and 35 506 352 B ordinary shares. The
income tax number of the Company is 9500-124-71-5.

Together with the Implats shares that were distributed as a dividend in specie on 25 June 2012, which amounted to R7.28 per
share, the total distributions to Remgro shareholders for the year under review will therefore amount to R10.42 per share.

Dates of importance:

Last day to trade in order to participate in the final dividend    Friday, 9 November 2012   
Trading on or after this date will be ex the final dividend       Monday, 12 November 2012

Payment date                                                      Monday, 19 November 2012   

Shareholders may not dematerialise or rematerialise their holdings of ordinary shares between Monday, 12 November 2012,

Notes
1.      Includes the investments in Capevin Investments Limited and Capevin Holdings Limited.
2.      The unbundling of the investment in Implats had a negative impact on intrinsic value of R4.55 per share. The increase in the effective capital gains tax
        rate further reduced the intrinsic value per share by R1.60. Therefore, on a like-for-like basis the intrinsic value per share increased by 16.7% compared
        to June 2011.
3.      Includes the investments in CIV Fibre Network Solutions (Pty) Limited, CIE Telecommunications (Pty) Limited, CIV Power (Pty) Limited, Central Lake
        Trading No. 77 (Pty) Limited and Dark Fibre Africa (Pty) Limited.
4.      Cash at the centre excludes cash held by subsidiaries that are separately valued above (mainly Rainbow Chicken, Tsb Sugar and Wispeco).
5.      The potential capital gains tax (CGT) liability is calculated on the specific identification method using the most favourable calculation for investments
        acquired before 1 October 2001 and also taking into account the corporate relief provisions. Deferred CGT on investments "available-for-sale" is
        included in "other net corporate assets" above.
6.      For purposes of determining the intrinsic value, the unlisted investments are shown at directors' valuation and the listed investments are shown at stock
        exchange prices.
7.      Intrinsic values have not been audited.
